Ou So Good is one of my favorite scents... period. I'm not sure if there's such a thing as 'masculine' candles, but personally I don't like extra high, extra sweet smelling scents, and this candle is anything but that. It has a deep spice and strong musky scent, but without being overpowering, and without being over 'masculine'. Thing is - it's one of those scents that anyone can use, regardless of your gender or how you identify. It just smells... GOOD. I have Oud colognes which smell amazing, and this candle did not disappoint - it fits right in with my fragrant collection. 10/10 will buy again. 5 stars for me!
